Phylogenomics of <i>Mycobacterium africanum</i> reveals a new lineage and a complex evolutionary history

2020-06-10

Abstract excerpt

Human tuberculosis is caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex (MTBC). The MTBC comprises several human-adapted lineages known as M. tuberculosis sensu stricto as well as two lineages (L5 and L6) traditionally referred to as M. africanum . Strains of L5 and L6 are largely limited to West Africa for reasons unknown, and little is known on their genomic diversity, phylogeography and evolution....
